East Stanislaus Resource Conservation District

The East Stanislaus Resource Conservation District promotes the restoration and conservation of local landscapes, focusing on riparian woodlands. They engage the community through educational walks and stewardship initiatives to protect and enhance natural habitats.

Spend time outside and take a closer look at Caswell State Park, one of the last remaining and most extensive examples of riparian woodland in the Central Valley. This guided walk is led by ESRCD restoration staff and offers a chance to explore local habitat, learn how restoration and conservation work is approached, connect with others interested in this work, and ask questions along the way. We&rsquo;ll walk through an oak forest along the Stanislaus River, observe native plants and wildlife, and talk through what we&rsquo;re seeing in real time as we move through the landscape.Along the way, we&rsquo;ll identify plants, birds, and insects, and discuss how restoration and conservation practices support these systems.
